corophium volutator (pallas) has been recommended by the paris commission as one of the standard species for testing chemical used in offshore oil and gas exploration/production. in the present study, gut contents of corophium volutator have been analysed by electron probe microanalysis (epma) for baso4 and other heavy metal impurities after exposure tto spiked sediments following a standard as...

Risk Factors in Oil and Gas Well Electronics Compared to Other Electronic Industries — The oil and gas well electronics industry is a low volume industry in which the development and the operating life cycles of the electronic products used is considerably longer than those of the commonly available commercial parts used to build them. Oil and gas well electronic systems, especially the ones th...

A key to reducing the risks and costs of associated with oil and gas exploration is the fast, accurate imaging of complex geologies, such as salt domes in the Gulf of Mexico and overthrust regions in U.S. onshore regions. Prestack depth migration generally yields the most accurate images, and one approach to this is to solve the scalar wave equation using nite diierences. Current industry compu...

The primary use of technical computing in the oil and gas industries is for seismic imaging of the earth’s subsurface, driven by the business need for making wellinformed drilling decisions during petroleum exploration and production. Since each oil/gas well in exploration areas costs several tens of millions of dollars, producing high-quality seismic images in a reasonable time can significant...
